Battle of two Snow Whites

There are two Snow White movies coming out in 2012, but their trailers look VERY different. Snow White and the Huntsman, starring Charlize Theron, Kristin Stewart (Bella!), and Chris Hemsworth (Thor!), is out in theaters on June 1, 2012, and looks like its going to be action-packed, with Theron playing the super-evil queen. On the other hand, Mirror Mirror stars Julia Roberts as the evil queen, and Armie Hammer (The Social Network) as the prince, and looks like it might be more of a comedy. Mirror Mirror will be in theaters on March 16, 2012, just a few months before the Snow White and the Huntsman.

Check out the trailers below - which version looks like it will be better? (and is it even fair to compare, since they look so different?)

I have not! Am seeing it tonight as well. I missed the screening Wed. b/c I was at the HAVE A LITTLE FAITH VIP event thing ... which only happens for one night :). Someone I know won tix to another screening-type thing today so I will see it later with a friend! Looking forward to it.

When you see it and I see it tonight, we should totally discuss what we thought tomorrow!! :) I am so looking forward to it!! I'm all jittery, hoping so much it going to be like the book! I've been watching the live streaming of the premieres, the hollywood one on Monday and the london one on wednesday, (I know I am such a nerd haha), but it was cool, just seeing them interact with the fans and stuff, it was awesome!

Yeah in our county's newspaper the reviewer gave it 2 and a half out 4 stars, and barely said anything nice. However, so far, from all of the movies, I've read all of the reviews and not one of the reviewers has ever read the books! And even though of course there are the viewers that have not read the books, the majority of the viewers have, and I just don't think a reviewer can give a fair review when having not read the books.

So we've all been there ... that time when you're on an important phone call, and then the call drops. Or even when you need to use the internet on your smartphone, only to realize that you're at your data limit for the month.

I drive all over the metro Detroit area for movie screenings; because of this, most of the time I know where I'm going, but sometimes, I'm in an unfamiliar area or at an unfamiliar theater and I need GPS to know how to get there and back.

A few months ago, I was headed to the AMC Forum (Sterling Heights area) and I wanted to know the best way to get home from there. My phone kept stalling ... and stalling ... and then the Maps app crashed! Gah! I was extremely frustrated. I was finally able to re-start the phone and get safely home, but it TOOK. SO. LONG. Had the Maps app worked the fir…

*Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own. As long-time readers of this blog surely know, I travel quite a lot. A few years ago, I only took about 2-3 trips per year, not including trips in the state of Michigan (Grand Haven weekends, etc.), but this past year, I was fortunate in that I was able to travel very frequently.

I recently heard about a new travel site, DirectHotels.com, which is similar to Kayak.com, in that it searches all of the other travel sites (Orbitz, Expedia, etc.) to find the best deals for you. I gave it a bit of a test run to see if that is indeed true.

About the site:
DirectHotels.com is a new hotel comparison tool that challenges the big brands. Travelers can easily compare all the travel sites in one place to find the cheapest hotel. DirectHotels.com compares over 200 bookings sites, so users can be sure about its accuracy. Using DirectHotels.com means that you will never overpay.

I've written these past two years about Bookstock, a huge used book & media sale that takes place at Laurel Park Place, in Livonia, and it's returning again this year, from Sunday, 4/22 through Sunday, 4/29.Read more about the event over at my book blog! I was finally able to check it out last year, and they had a large mix of books and media (including DVDs, Blu-rays, and records).To learn more about Bookstock, click hereto visit my book blog, or visit their official site here.
